CURTAIN Application filed September This invention relates to improvements in curtain fixtures. H r j The main object of'this invention is to provide an improved curtain fixture in which the rod may be quickly mounted or. detached from its supporting bracket and at the same time is very securely retained.

A further obj ectis to proyide an improved curtain fixture which is very simple and economical in structure and not likely to become broken in use.

Objects relating to details and economies of construction and operation of my inven tion will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed'out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front elevation of a curtain fixture embodying the features of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on a line corresponding to line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view corresponding to that of Fig. 2 showing the curtain rod partially engaged with the bracket as in attaching or removing.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, the curtain rod 1 which is of channel-shaped cross section has inturned arms 2 at its ends adapted to be engaged with the supporting brackets. I provide angled brackets 3 constituting base plates and outwardly projecting arms, the base plates being perforated toreceive the attaching brads 4, the wall or window casing being indicated at 5. V

The outwardly projecting arms of these brackets have longitudinal slots 6 therein extending to the base plates providing a pair of spring members 7. These spring members have recesses 8 in their outer edges terminating in spaced relation to the inner ends of the spring members providing shoulders 9. These recesses also provide outwardly projecting lugs 10 at the ends of the fingers, these lugs being oppositely disposed.

The flanges of the rod have holes 11 there- FIXTURE.

in adapted to receive these lugs when the rod is slipped upon the bracket with its inner end in engagement with the shoulders 9 or" the'bracket. Therod is effectively supported and is released'by an outward pull thereon until it disengages the shoulders when it maybe tilted as indicated in Fig. 8 either up or down as may be convenient to the operator and withdrawn. The at taching is a reverse of this manipulation.

My improved bracket is very economical in structure and at the same time the rod is very efi ectively supported.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a bracket comprising a fiat projecting arm slotted longitudinally providing spring members, said arm having recesses in the outer edges thereof terminating in spaced relation to the base of the armprovidin shoulders at the base of the arm and opposed lugs at the outer ends of the spring members, and a curtain rod member of channel cross section adapted to telescope with said bracket arm and embrace said shoulders at the base thereof, said rod member having opposed holes with which said lugs engage when the rod member is in engagement with said shoulders.

2. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a bracket comprising a flat projecting arm slotted longitudinally providing spring members, said arm having recesses in the outer edges thereof terminating in spaced relation to the base of the arm providing shoulders at the base of the arm and opposed lugs at the outer ends of the spring members, and a curtain rod member of channel crosssection adapted to telescope with said bracket arm and embrace said shoulders at the base thereof.

3. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a wall bracket comprising a projecting arm slotted longitudinally providing spring members, said arm having recesses in the ice outer edges thereof terminating in spaced resaid lugs engage when the rod member is in engagement with said shoulders.

4:. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a Wall bracket compris ng. a projecting a m slotted longitudinal-1y providing spring members, said arm'having recesses in the outer edges thereof terminating in spaced relation to the base of the arm providing shoulders at the base of thearm and opposed lugs at the outer ends .of the spring members, and a curtain rod member adapted to telescope with said bracket arm and engage said shoulders at the base thereof.

'5. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a Wall bracket comprising a pair of spring members having oppositelyfacing shoulders attheir bases and oppositely facing curved lugs at their inner ends, and a curtain rod na nib radapted I0 e esc p with se d p g members'and sli'dably engage said shoulders at-the bases thereof, said rod member having QPpOse hole th wh h sa d u e g hen'the rod r r 1e1 nbe r is in engagement With said shoulders.

)6. The combination in a curtain fixture, of a Wall bracket comprising a pair of spring members havingoppositely facing shoulders at their bases and oppositely facing curved lugs attheir inner ends, and a curtain rod member adapted to telescope- With said spring members and slidably engage said shoulders at the bases thereof.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto my hand.
